Can we convert Zip into Blob

[Ajjay]

Hi,

I have bigger files that can be compressed (Zip it) and then convert into Blobs to store it in Azure Storage Account. Because this will be used only for archival. Sois it possible to convert .zip into blobs

Hey @Ajjay,

Yes you can convert a zip to blob:

Works fine with the blob input tool.

Any questions or issues please ask :)

Hi Ira,

I am completely new to the concept of blob. Whats the file format of blob, because after using the blob input and then blob output to save it, it saves .png. Is it always like that or am I missing on something. Is there a sample workflow do you have where I can use it as reference and as a starting point

TIA,

Aj

Hey @Ajjay,

A blob is a binary data type I believe. Do you want to covert to a blob then store in Azure? The blob input tool will Automatically covert your png to a blob which you can then upload to Azure. 

When you want to look at the image again you can use the blob output tool.
